The background doesn't fit imo.

I like the image, but would like to see some intrest in the foreground or cropped tighter.

This meets the challenge – it’s inanimate and arranged. I don't like it much, or the colours or the arrangement, but it's all quite consistently true to its theme so it must be a 7

Love the bright colours, fun content, good light, but maybe looks a little... linear? Just a little stilted somehow...

Nice colours and original idea.

Comment by MrXpress:
The sky being terribly overexposed removes the (potentially high) impact of this image.

I like the green and the depth of the graveyard; but the sky and the backlighting really detract from the image.You can't help that though, or the trees; my suggestion is wait till a foggy sunrise/sunset and shoot this place again.Then consider black and white. People will want prints.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Thai :)

Here's some sound advice for you: Never submit an image that is less than 640 pixels on the longest side.

I don't think this photo does a great job of conveying your saying. This photo is also a bit of a compositional disaster. There is a lot of discontinuity in the lines, curves, shapes, and objects within the frame. There is also no reason this photo shouldn't be sharp throughout. It's a bit soft on the left side of the frame.. possibly motion blur from the slow shutter speed or from the shallow depth of field at f/2.8.

Better luck next time :)

Nice but the sky is too blown out for me - I think a little later would have evened things out more. It hurts particularly on the trees to the top right where they lose all detail. I like the framing though.

Sky seems quite bright/washed out.
